25 December 2018Hello,
A polyhouse is a structure made of steel/GI pipes with plastic covering - and farm produce is grown inside. While the plastic has a life of 4-5 years and is changed whenever necessary, the steel structure has a 50 to 60+ years, or even more, life (it is galvanised, and fixed in the ground - immovable structure, unless dismantled).
The query is - if a farmer sells such a polyhouse, used by him for over a decade, what sort of tax would the sale attract ?
Thanks.

If used structure is sold there would not be any gain or profit !!

Thank you for the reply.
So just to confirm, the structure is not considered a capital asset ? - thereby the sale being a capital gain/loss ?
Also, would depreciation be considered to calculate profit / loss ?
And with or without depreciation, if there is profit - under which head will it be considered ?
Thank you.

If depreciation has been availed, and if there is any gain it will be ST capital gain.
